Tom McClintock Joins 22 Candidates Who Have Signed "The No New Taxes Pledge"

September 13, 2003

As promised, our campaign is giving a press release about Tom's recent decision to sign "The No New Taxes Pledge."  His campaign received the pledge on August 19.  They also received a follow-up message a few days later.  On September 3, in the Walnut Creek debate, Tom said he was the only candidate to pledge no new taxes, so we contacted his campaign on September 7 and "called his bluff."

"I'm glad Tom signed the pledge.  It shows that he is serious about it and won't raise taxes.  I was beginning to wonder which pledge he took.  22 candidates have signed this pledge and he is the 23rd," said Mr. Gastrich.

Tom McClintock signed the pledge on September 12.  This pledge can be seen here: http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/nonewtaxes/govcandidates.htm.
